- step S 133 the printing preview image in the partial image area 202 is re-displayed on the display panel 18 .
- the printing preview image on the display panel 18 is further scrolled in the rightward and downward direction, as indicated in FIG. 12 .
- step S 127 the movement distances sx(t( 5 )) and sy(t( 5 )) are calculated. These movement distances sx(t( 5 )) and sy(t 5 )) are calculated according equations similar to those described above.
- step S 129 the position of the partial image area 202 within the printing image 201 is changed on the basis of the movement distances sx(t( 5 )) and sy(t( 5 )), as indicated in FIG. 13 .
- step S 133 the printing preview image in the partial image area 202 is re-displayed on the display panel 18 .
- the scrolling operation of the printing preview image displayed on the display panel 18 is stopped at the state indicated in FIG. 13 .
- the cellular phone 10 is moved in the downward direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, during a time period between the points of time t( 5 ) and t( 6 ), and is then held stationary during a time period between the points of time t( 6 ) and t( 7 ).
- the movement distance sz(t( 7 )) is calculated
- step S 131 the size of the partial image area 202 in the printing image 201 is increased on the basis of the movement distance sz(t( 7 )), as indicated in FIG. 14 .
- step S 133 the printing preview image in the partial image area 202 is re-displayed on the display panel 18 .
- the printing preview image displayed on the display panel 18 is enlarged as indicated in FIG. 14 .
- the acceleration value of the cellular phone 10 is obtained by the acceleration sensor 26 , and the printing preview image displayed on the display panel 18 can be scrolled on the basis of the obtained acceleration value.
- the scrolling operation can be performed by simply accelerating the cellular phone 10 , without having to use a specific assisting device such as a guide sheet conventionally used, whereby the cellular phone 10 can be more easily operated by the user.
- the cellular phone 10 is further configured such that the velocity information vx and vy of the cellular phone 10 can be calculated on the basis of the direction and magnitude of the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 26 .
- the position and size of the partial image area in the printing image can be changed on the basis of the velocity information vx and vz.
- the cellular phone 10 is configured to permit the scrolling operation and enlargement or contraction of the printing preview image only while the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button is held touched by the user. That is, the user can scroll the printing preview image only when the user has an intention to do so. Unless the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button is held touched by the user, the printing preview image is prevented from being scrolled even if the cellular phone 10 is accelerated without an intention to scroll the printing preview image. Thus, it is possible to prevent erroneous operations of the cellular phone 10 by the user.
- the cellular phone 10 according to the present invention 10 is configured such that where the printing data are document data, rows of characters in a document represented by the document data are displayed on the display panel 18 , in the same font size as the font size specified by the document data. Accordingly, a relevant part of the document as printed can be checked by the printing preview image displayed on the display panel 18 , in terms of the width of each character row and the area of the printed part, as if a recording medium having a printed image existed just behind the display panel 18 . Thus, the user can intuitively see how the character rows being displayed on the display panel 18 are actually printed on the recording medium.
- Steps S 221 through S 233 in the flow chart of FIG. 6 are identical with steps S 21 through S 33 in the flow chart of FIG. 2 , and will not be described in detail.
- step S 229 the CPU 11 determines whether the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button displayed on the display panel 18 is touched by the user. If the button is touched, that is, if an affirmative determination (YES) is obtained in step S 229 , the control flow goes to step S 231 . If the button is not touched, that is, if a negative determination (NO) is obtained in step S 229 , the control flow goes to S 234 .
- step S 234 the CPU 11 obtains the velocity information vx(t(n)) and vz(t(n)) at the present point of time t(n), and determines whether at least one of absolute values of the velocities represented by the obtained velocity information vx(t(n)) and vz(t(n)) is equal to or larger than a corresponding one of predetermined threshold values stored in a threshold value memory area 12 a . If none of the absolute values are equal to or larger than the corresponding threshold values, that is, if a negative determination (NO) is obtained in step S 234 , the control flow goes back to step S 227 .
- NO negative determination
- step S 234 If at least one of the absolute values is equal to or larger than the corresponding threshold value, that is, if an affirmative determination (YES) is obtained in step S 234 , the control flow goes to step S 235 after the obtained velocity information vx(t(n)) and vz(t(n)) is temporarily stored in the memory portion 12 .
- step S 235 the CPU 11 reads out the velocity information vx(t(n)) and vz(t(n)) from the memory portion 12 .
- step S 237 the CPU 11 calculates the movement distances sx(t(n)), sy(t(n)) and sz(t(n)), which are distances of movement of the cellular phone 10 at the velocities represented by the velocity information vx(t(n)), vy(t(n)) and vz(t(n)) at a reference point of time (at which the user has released the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button, namely, at which the negative determination (NO) is obtained in step S 229 ), during a time period between the reference point of time and the present point of time t(n).
- step S 239 the CPU 11 changes the position or size of the partial image area in the printing image, on the basis of the movement distances sx(t(n)) and sz(t(n)), and commands the display panel 18 to re-display the printing preview image in the partial image 202 area in the printing image.
- step S 241 the CPU 11 determines whether the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button has been touched again by the user. If the button has been touched again by the user, that is, if a negative determination (NO) is obtained in step S 241 , the control flow goes back to step S 235 . If the button has been touched again by the user, that is, if an affirmative determination (YES) is obtained in step S 241 , the control flow goes to step S 243 in which the CPU 11 resets all values of the velocity information vx(t(n)), vy(t(n)) and vz(t(n)) stored I the memory portion 12 , and then goes back to step S 227 .
- the printing preview image can be kept scrolled as if the cellular phone 10 is moved at a constant velocity equal to the velocity at the time when the finger of the user has released the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button, if the finger releases the button while the cellular phone 15 is moved with the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button being kept touched by the finger.
- the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button is touched again by the user, the constant scrolling state is canceled and stopped. Accordingly, the printing preview image can be scrolled by a long distance with a short distance of movement of the cellular phone 10 .
- the scrolling operation can be easily performed even when the required distance of scrolling is relatively long, as in the case where the size of the printing image is relatively large.
- the cellular phone 10 is more or less moved when the cellular phone 10 is operated by the user.
- the velocity information representative of the velocity of movement of the cellular phone 10 more or less includes a noise component.
- the processing to continuously scroll the printing preview image is initiated when the velocity of movement of the cellular phone 10 at the time when the finger of the user has released the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button is equal to or higher than the threshold value (when the affirmative determination (YES) is obtained in step S 234 ). Accordingly, the noise component can be removed from the velocity information, so that the erroneous operation of the cellular phone 10 by the user can be prevented.
- a physical quantity used to control the scrolling operation of the printing preview image is not limited to the acceleration value of the cellular phone 10 measured by the acceleration sensor 26 used in the illustrated embodiment described above.
- the acceleration value may be replaced by an angle of inclination of the cellular phone 10 measured by the inclination sensor 29 . This modification will be described below.
- step S 113 is modified such that the CPU 11 obtains inclination angle information gx(t(n)) and gy(t(n)) at the present point of time t(n).

- Step S 127 is modified to calculate the movement distance sx(t(n)) on the basis of the product calculated in step S 117 , and the movement distance sy(t(n)) on the basis of the product calculated in step S 121 .
- Step S 129 is modified to change the position of the partial image area in the printing image, on the basis of the movement distances sx(t(n)) and gy((n)).
- Step S 133 is modified to re-display the printing preview image in the partial image area 202 , on the display panel 18 .
- the position of the partial image area in the printing image can be changed according to the angle of inclination of the cellular phone 10 measured by the inclination sensor 29 . Accordingly, the user can perform the scrolling operation of the printing preview image by inclining the x-y plane defined of the display panel 18 with respect to the horizontal plane.
- the acceleration value measured by the acceleration sensor 26 and used to control the scrolling operation of the printing preview image may be replaced by the position of the cellular phone 10 obtained by the GPS portion 30 . This modification will be described below.
- control routine of the flow chart of FIG. 4 is modified as described below. Namely, the position of the cellular phone 10 measured by the GPS portion 30 at the point of time when the “PREVIEW OPERATION” button is touched is determined as the reference position of the cellular phone 10 . Steps 111 -S 125 are eliminated, and step S 127 is modified to calculate the movement distances sx(t(n)) and sy(t(n)) on the basis of the present position of the cellular phone 10 measured by the GPS portion 30 .
- Step S 129 is implemented to change the position of the partial image area in the printing image, on the basis of the calculated movement distances sx(t(n)) and sy(t(n)), and step S 133 is implemented to re-display the printing preview image in the partial image area 202 .
- the position of the partial image area in the printing image can be changed on the basis of the positional information of the cellular phone 10 obtained by the GPS portion 30 .
- the illustrated embodiment may be modified such that the operations to scroll, enlarge and contract the printing preview image are possible only while the cellular phone 10 is placed in a predetermined state, for instance, only while any part of the display panel 18 is kept touched, or only while the display panel 18 is kept in an almost horizontal or vertical plane, or kept inclined at about 45.° with respect to the horizontal or vertical plane.
- the illustrated embodiment may be modified to command a motion sensor to return detected information, through the API of the operating system 21 e , only while the cellular phone 10 is placed in a predetermined state.
